Nutritional Status

Nutritional imbalances can be key contributors to various health conditions. Functional nutritional testing offers a deep dive into your body’s biochemical pathways, revealing deficiencies and imbalances that could impact your overall well-being.

Comprehensive blood and urine testing can evaluate over 125 biomarkers, identifying your body’s functional needs for 40 essential nutrients, including:

• Antioxidants
• Vitamins & Minerals
• Essential Fatty Acids
• Amino Acids
• Digestive Support Factors

This assessment helps guide therapeutic support in areas such as:

• Methylation
• Toxic Exposure
• Mitochondrial Dysfunction
• Fatty Acid Imbalances
• Oxidative Stress

Who Can Benefit from Functional Nutritional Testing? Nutritional imbalances are linked to a wide range of health conditions. Patients experiencing the following may benefit from testing:

• Mood Disorders
• Cardiovascular Disease
• Insulin Resistance & Type 2 Diabetes
• Fatigue & Low Energy
• Weight Management & Dietary Guidance
• Malnutrition, especially in the elderly
• Digestive Issues & Nutrient Absorption Problems
• Athletic Performance & Recovery Support
• Physical Trauma & Healing Optimization
• Fertility and Reproductive Health

. The report helps to pinpoint specific nutritional needs including:

• Personalized Nutrient & Functional Imbalance Overview
• Organic Acids Analysis (Urine): Assesses gut health, mitochondrial function, neurotransmitters, detoxification, and oxidative stress
• Amino Acids Analysis (Plasma or Urine): Evaluates protein metabolism, neurotransmitter support, and essential nutrient levels
• Fatty Acid Profile (RBCs): Assesses Omega-3, Omega-6, and cardiovascular risk factors
• Elemental Markers: Measures key nutrient and toxic element levels
• Add-On Testing: Vitamin D and SNP (genetic markers) for a more tailored approach

The Science Behind Functional Nutritional Assessments Functional nutritional testing goes beyond standard bloodwork by examining metabolic pathways, identifying functional nutrient deficiencies at a cellular and biochemical level, even when standard serum levels appear normal.

How It Works:

1. Organic acids and amino acids accumulate in urine if there is a metabolic block.
2. These blocks may be caused by nutrient deficiencies, enzyme deficits, toxin exposure, or medication effects.
3. Based on these insights, personalized supplement and dietary recommendations are provided to correct deficiencies.
